Well you should also consider that he is playing in Div.5, while your scouting was made for Div.4. I would assume that it's easier to get bot-promoted from div.5 to div.4 then it is from div.4 to div.3, because there tend to be more committed players in higher divisions.
After a bit of reasearch in Italy's div.5, for example, I've found that last season many teams were bot-promoted with a 19-3 record.

Absolutely correct. I made sure to say what division and country I scouted, and targeted my response at everyone. Just sharing some scouting reports and thoughts on the bot promotion process. I bot-promoted from USA V to IV with an 18-4 record following season 6.

Good clarification, thanks.

question:

in USA division 5 only about the first 50 leagues have humans, and the rest are completely bot filled (about 200 bots get first place in the other leagues). instead of the 200 bots in empty leagues promoting will the next 200 non-bot teams in the first 50 leagues move up instead?

Well, there are some humans playing in a few of those bot leagues...

But, the answer is, essentially, yes. The Bots will be promoted initially, then will be dropped back down with the bot cleanup. Other teams will then be promoted up.

Reason for humans playing in those divisions is that relegated teams will be split to all divisions in lower league. They then get a very comfortable way back to higher division obviously.

New teams are always placed in lowest league in the lowest division with human teams. Not sure it is the best way to solve it as a few leagues tends to be very strong while new teams in higher league numbers usually gets weaker opponents.

I think you definitely have no chance. There are 3 teams better than yours in your league only. Sorry.
